Through the stories of those who have silently continued the path of shamanism, "Welfare People" reminded me of the meaning of tradition with human sincerity.
The MBN documentary "Welfare People," which aired on the 19th, follows the story of four shamans and contains the essential meaning of the long-running local tradition and gut. Beyond the ritual meaning of the gut, it also pointed out the historical background that contains the well-being of the community and the comfort of life, and calmly shed light on its value as a traditional culture.
In this documentary, those who have taken different paths of practice, including "Busan Shinmyungsa" of "Jakdu-gut," "Seoul Emperor's New Girl" of "Daeun Maji-gut," "Chungcheongnam-do Sitting Rock Bodhisattva" that has continued "Gari-gut," and "Ansan Mugunghwa-dang," which has preserved the traditional "Jinjeok-gut," completed the flow of the program with their own narratives. Joy, sorrow, and pleasure are melted together in the narrative, making them feel naturally that it is the process of their lives.
On top of that, national MC Lee Sang-byeok came out as a "storyteller" and talked directly with shamans to convey the atmosphere of the scene vividly. He added a warm humanity and friendly atmosphere to the program by mixing naturally and actively communicating.
The important core of 'welfare people' was 'sincere'. The program was solved by shaking off bad energy and praying for blessings over the actions of gut and meditation. The shaman's desire to take risks and climb on the straw and pour out all their energy was also in the hope that good luck would eventually reach people. Furthermore, the responsibility for continuing the tradition to lead to the next generation was also revealed everywhere.
Emphasizing the importance of traditional ceremonies, "Busan Shinmyungsa" said, "I hope we will work with utmost care so that the way that has been passed down from generation to generation does not disappear," and "Seoul Emperor Byeolshinyeo" looked at the gut as a community culture like our people's yard play and said, "I hope the gut to achieve hope and dreams will continue in the future."
"Chungnam Sitting Rock Bodhisattva" sent a message of support to those who are going through a difficult time, saying, "Everyone has a crisis, but I hope you endure it well," while "Ansan Mugunghwa Party" also emphasized the meaning of comfort gained in the process of performance, citing the heart and sincerity of gratitude as the essence of performance.
In the end, the four shamans commonly left the "sincere" toward people as an important message rather than a flashy moment of consciousness. "Welfare People" clearly showed the value of comfort and hope contained in it and efforts to keep the tradition's reputation through gut.
Meanwhile, the production team is preparing for next season, and will continue to record the stories of shamans who keep their tradition in various scenes of life with sincere eyes.
